Jazz Fest 2017: Music around the fest

If the XRIJF's more than 320 shows isn't enough to quench
your jazzy thirst, several other Rochester venues not affiliated with festival
will host their own performances Friday, June 23, through Saturday, July 1. If
you need a break from the Jazz Fest crowds, or want to catch one more show late
night, keep an eye on Abilene
Bar and Lounge (153 Liberty Pole Way), Joe Bean Coffee Roasters (1344
University Avenue), The Little Cafe (240
East Avenue), Downstairs Cabaret
(20 Windsor Street), and Victoire (120 East Avenue).

Downstairs Cabaret will be extending its weekly Grove
Place Jazz Project nights (usually every Tuesday) to both Fridays and
Saturdays of the festival. 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.; tickets are $10. And Victoire doesn't have official schedule, but you can stop
by the restaurant to see who's playing what.
